WRIGHT COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2018-51
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION AND FILING OF PETITION TO RE-
OPEN PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO THE TRANSFER OF PORTIONS OF WRIGHT
COUNTY DITCH 33 TO THE CITY OF MONTICELLO
WHEREAS, in 2006 the City petitioned the Wright County Board of Commissioners,
seated as Drainage Authority for Wright County Ditch (CD) 33, among other things, to transfer
portions of CD 33 to the City; and
WHEREAS, the petitioned action was premised on the City's belief that development
and annexation in the area of the drainage system transfer was imminent; and
WHEREAS, it was anticipated that with the development and annexation, the drainage
system would be relocated, as part of the City's stormwater plan, to annexed portions of the City;
and
WHEREAS, while the annexation did occur, the development that would have justified
relocation of the drainage system did not occur; and
WHEREAS, statutes section 103E.812 only allows drainage system transfer to a city
where the portion of the drainage system to be transferred is "within the boundaries of the city;"
and
WHEREAS, THE City Council believes it appropriate to request correction of the
transfer by petition to the Drainage Authority to re -open proceedings and seek rescission of the
portion of the Drainage Authority's order transferring the drainage system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council authorizes the Mayor and
City Administrator to execute the attached petition and to file the same with the Drainage
Authority for further proceedings.
